When I think back to my original Nintendo Game Boy, I don’t just remember a piece of gaming hardware. I remember a specific time in my life, a season, a university campus, and a particular version of myself. The Machine I was at the University of Arizona in the fall of 1989 (Go Wildcats!),…
Clear as day. For some inexplicable reason, Nintendo isn’t giving us different coloured Joy-Con for the Switch 2 – at least not yet, anyway.

It’s gone from strength to strength—hitting two million sales in the first couple days, then up to three million a few after that, and then to four…
What could it be? Playtonic Games, the developer behind Yooka-Laylee and its Switch 2 reimagining Yooka-Replaylee, appears to be teasing something over on Bluesky. Starting from last Saturday, the company has begun posting cryptic messages on social media relating to the number ’60’. Then, earlier today, it posted an amusing riddle that references performance that…
Nothing has made it more obvious that Crimson Desert is a singleplayer game created by an MMO developer than its patch cadence and rapid evolution. The game has changed so much in little under a month, as Pearl Abyss has pumped out an absurd number of updates. Quality-of-life changes, bug fixes, implementing new features—stuff that…
